Yum! Soup! I saw a recipe on line for chicken tortilla soup, which I've never tried making. It is snowing and blowing outside my window, a good day for soup.

I've been Boo'd... right off the stage!

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

I was in the check-out line at the supermarket yesterday and I heard a man griping to the cashier about the national anthem being sung in languages other than English in the Coca-Cola commercial. I wanted to say that the national anthem was sung beautifully in English by Renee Fleming before the game started, and the song in the Coke commercial was America the Beautiful. I just kept quiet. The cashier was a young guy and I could tell that he was trying not to laugh. ... people ...

At least you knew the cashier understood! I would have corrected the guy, and gotten into a discussion with him being my most smiling upbeat cheery self ... (I can do that - a skill inherited directly from my mother) and see if I could change his mind! And if I was truly feeling evil, would mention that his bringing it up meant more publicity for Cocoa Cola - did he mean to help them so much?

I KNEW there would be people commenting on that Coke commercial - I said it at the time. Ah well - clueless is as clueless does. ...and yes, the national anthem was beautiful.
